Due to this, a party playing in Koto is unlikely to have a great number of spell casting classes. While players are encouraged to embrace all aspects of the world, including magic, more than 1-2 spellcasters would exceed the realistic quota for the setting. Furthermore, players looking to create a magically inclined character will have to put in great effort to work out how their character might have obtained their gift and how they fit into the world. In addition, a player creating such a character must be aware of the social and political consequences their abilities may cause for them and their party.

===== Mythos of Creation =====
[[Koto: Legends Arise/History]]
In the beginning there was Musubi, the Hitorigami or lone goddess. She existed before the Planes, when there was only darkness in the multiverse. Musubi wandered the darkness for an innumerable amount of time, until in her loneliness she gathered parts of the darkness together and created a companion; Yomi.
''


Finally, being with company, Musubi continued to create, and crafted the Material Plane from her right eye. On it she created, vegetation and animals. She then crafted the races of the world, each endowed with strengths and weaknesses so that they would strive and fall as they saw fit.
== Social Classes ==

[[Koto: Legends Arise/Social Classes]]
''


She was proud of her creation and tied to share her joy with Yomi. Alas, Yomi was made from darkness, and like the void that created him, he only knew how to consume. He preyed on the inhabitants of the Material Plane, growing fat from their life sources, until many races were driven to extinction.  
== Locations ==
=== [[Koto: Legends Arise/Shihon|Shihon]] ===
Shihon, or the "Capital Island" is located in the middle of Koto.


Horrified by Yomi's gluttony, Musubi tore Yomi into shreds and scattered his body into the darkness. Then, to try to amend for the lost life she created the Spirit World (Feywild) from her left eye and the spirits of the fallen creatures took refuge there, where their descendants still remain. The scattered parts of Yomi soon gathered to create a similar plane, the Shattered Realm (Shadowfell) which continues to draw on the life force of the Material Plane to this day.
=== [[Koto: Legends Arise/Fyushin|Fyushin]] ===
Fyushin is located northwest of Shihon and is a region of wide grasslands and fields.


And so the denizens of the Spirit Realm are longer lived than those from the Material Plane, as they experience less influence from the Shattered Realm... or so they say.
=== [[Koto: Legends Arise/Kesseki|Kesseki]] ===
===== Mythos of Sun and Moon =====
The north-west most region of Koto, Kesseki is a land of rural towns and wide, fruitful farmland.
After Musubi had finished crying for her lost companion, she turned down to earth and saw its inhabitants were cold and scared. To keep them warm and protected, Musubi crafted the goddess Izayoi from the brightest stones of the Spirit World, and tasked her with watching over the Material World.


However, Izayoi was a vain goddess, and instead of keeping constant watch, she created a palace for herself above the Material Plane he called Takamagahara (Mount Celestia) and hid away.
=== [[Koto: Legends Arise/Osawagi|Osawagi]] ===
Osawagi, the westmost part of Koto, is a region of wide green land, farms, but at the same time, beautiful cities and fortresses.


Angered by Izayoi's action Musubi crafted the goddess Hirume out of the warm heart of the Material Plane. Hirume drove Izayoi out of Takamagahara into the darkness, and let her glory spread to light up the Material Plane. However, when she sleeps, Izayoi attempts to return to Takamagahara, wandering across the sky to find it.
=== [[Koto: Legends Arise/Hogo-Sha|Hogo-Sha]] ===
Hogo-Sha, the guarding region, is the south-west most region of Koto.


And so the Sun rises during the day when Hirume is awake and vigilant, and when she falls a sleep, the Moon creeps across the heavens as Izayoi attempts to return to her lost home... or so they say.
=== [[Koto: Legends Arise/Hisoka|Hisoka]] ===
Hisoka, also known as the abandoned region, is the south-west most part of Koto.

==== The Great Civil War ====
In the year 47 M.S., the tenno of that time passed away. That left Koto with a great issue. There was no heir to the throne, no new tenno to be crowned. And so it came that each of the 17 daimyo claimed that it would be their right to rule.  


When no solution could be found, the daimyo decided to settle matters by force. A war broke out, each daimyo being their own faction, fighting to take over their comptetitors for the rank of the tenno.

The war raged for a long time, with many casualties in its early phases. Of the 17 daimyo that entered the comptetition, soon only 8 remained, but found themselves at a stalemate. Still, none of them would allow themselves to settle for peace, as they each believed in their right to inherit the throne and rule over all of Koto. This left the people of the land in misery from constant fighting, trading embargos and food shortages for years to come.

Koto is a edo-japanese inspired fantasy world for DnD 5e. With an oppressive ruling class holding the people in its iron fist, an uprising force of rebels, mercenaries and mystical secrets all over, this world is a wonder to explore.

Koto

Meta-Info

Time in Koto

Time in Koto is measured similary to our world. Seconds, days, months and years all remain as their real life counterparts. However, years are counted from the election of the new Tenno, after the civil war. That year was designated year 1 Seireki or 1 S.

The time before the new Tenno is referred to as Mae Seireki, or M.S.

The current year is 84 S.

Playable Races

Koto is a setting that comes with a decent variety of races, but still requires the players to pick from the options that are present within the world.

These include:

  • Aasimar (Protector, Scourge, Fallen)
  • Dragonborn (Metallic, Chromatic, Gem)
  • Dwarves (Mountain, Hill)
  • Elves (Half, High, Wood, Drow)
  • Goliaths
  • Goblins
  • Halflings (Stout, Lightfoot)
  • Hobgoblins
  • Humans
  • Tabaxi
  • Tieflings (all subraces)

Playable Classes

While Koto allows for a lot of freedom and many things can be done to make a suitable character for any player, there is a base list of avaivable classes.

These classes include:

  • Barbarian
  • Bard
  • Cleric
  • Druid
  • Fighter
  • Monk
  • Paladin
  • Ranger
  • Rogue
  • Samurai
  • Sorcerer (limited)
  • Warlock (limited)
  • Wizard (limited)

Note: While all classes listed above are avaivable to play, not all subclass options from all sourcebooks might be allowed. Due to that, please ask the according questions during character creations to make sure the intended build is possible.

Magic in Koto

While Koto itself is a very mystical and spiritual world, magic is still incredibly rare. The arcane, the spiritual, the supernatural are widely feared and real mages are most uncommon. While there might be a few connected to the spiritual world in the temples, having dedicated their entire life to this connection, these connections are small and flimsy and those that manage to draw from them are viewed as transcended beings, often high in their respectives orders ranks. Shamans might be found performing rituals, but more often than not, those are for religious purposes rather than achieving any direct magical effect.

That said, there are a few mages scattered across the world. Most of them however live on the capital island, making use of their arcane gift to gain fame and infamy alike.

Due to this, a party playing in Koto is unlikely to have a great number of spell casting classes. While players are encouraged to embrace all aspects of the world, including magic, more than 1-2 spellcasters would exceed the realistic quota for the setting. Furthermore, players looking to create a magically inclined character will have to put in great effort to work out how their character might have obtained their gift and how they fit into the world. In addition, a player creating such a character must be aware of the social and political consequences their abilities may cause for them and their party.

Character Creation

All player can create their characters on their own. The characters start on level 2. Casters have to be discussed with the group and the DM. The following Stat Arrays can be used:

17/12/12/11/10/10
15/15/14/11/11/10

17/15/12/10/8/8

The additional Samurai Class and all subclasses can be used, except the "Phoenix Clan" Subclass. Various Homebrew content is available, ask your DM. Your starting equipment is determined by class and backgroud, adittional items are available at DMs discretion. Money is not determined by your background, all characters start with 1d4 x 10 gold.
